King Essentar,
Greetings and salutations, from us south of your nation, beyond the sea of Valtameri.
We in Zhem have for long had contacts upon your continent of Verdanttia, through the academics and scholars of Fiorenseo, and we recognise your power as a nation. Therefore, with the advent of a new Alliance, or rather, a Council, we would like to invite you to join us in our quest.
The Ocean of Valtameri divides our nations. Fiorenseo and Zhem, Villerorn and Aura, are far, yet so close, to each other. Robber-nations on Eisgaea enjoy the fruits of our labours, with tolls and tariffs, while the peoples of our nations slaver away to create sustainable and affordable trade between our countries.
Therefore we, Zhem and Fiorenseo, and now, Aura, have decide to create a Council to promote sea-travel over the Ocean of Valtameri, to benefit all who take part in the project. Our initial investments, I believe, will be repaid in full in time, by the increased travel between our nations.
Villerorn is a nation that is also a beneficiary of this Council. Unlike Tremere, who is saddled with Aztopia and Vincentland - and by proxy, Elennanórë - in its trade, you can use the future trade-routes between Ahma and the Saraswati Archipelago to stimulate trade.
By bringing an nest-egg to the Council, you are also guaranteed a return investment, when the Council's work starts to profit us all.
Awaiting your reply,
Yours truly,
Archcouncilor Järventaus, of Zhem,
Archcouncilor Markecci, of the Council of Valtameri.
